They Go Fishing with Their Tails and Try
Hard to Enjoy Themselves.
There are on the coast of Java pc
culiar long-tailed ape and sand-crab
that grows To extraordinary size and
possesses great strength in its claws.
The apes are particularly fond of these
crabs, which are very shy and wonder
fully quick in their movements. The
crabs live in deep holes in the sand,
but spend much OF their time on the
outside of.their holes. where they run
and hop about. They range in size
from that of a silver dollar Ia that of
our edible crabs. Their claws are not
large. hut have A grip that is visc-like.
The apes make daily raids on the
haunts of the crabs, and occasionally
succeed-by creeping stealthily to with

to fall desperately in love with a young
man who was employed in railroad

of the maiden during one of their secret

STRANGE DISEASE.
Death of Two Victims of Beri-B Beri in
New York Hospital.

Death of Two Victims of Beri-Beri in
New York Hospital.
The presence in New York city of a
number of cases of beri-beri, or kak-ke.
has re-awakened medical interest in
This peculiar disease. The patients
came from San Francisco by vessel,
and three Of them were taken to Belle
vue Hospital Two OF these died. On
the voyage, most of the crew were
affected with the disease. and some of
them fatally. This affection prevails
in Japan, India, South and Central
America, and in the islands of the Gulf,
and is technically considered to be a
multiple nueritis, or an infammatory
condition of the nerves. As rule the
spinal nerves alone are implicated, but
occasionally the cranial nerves as well.
1t has been demonstrated with great
degree of probability by Cornelissen
and Sugenoya that beri-bei.i is an in
fcctious disease, the specific cause be-
ing micro-organism resembling the
bacillus of anthrax, which is found in
the blood. muscles and nerves. In the
eases at Bellevue the nature of the
disease was not recognized at suffi-
Gently early stage to enable the physi-
Grams to study the microbes, or to make
any cultures of them.

POULTRY FEATHERS.

Their Growth From the Time They Start
in the skin Until Fully Developed.
The growth of the feather Of fowls
from the time it starts in the skin until
it is fully formed and the different
changes il, assumes. is quite interesting
to watch.
By a close observa ion of the skin of
a fowl one can see that where the
feather is to grow. there is small
hole. and at the bottom of this and
close to one side there seems to be a
little groove. or furrow. quite notieea-
bic OH one side, and deepest at the bot
tom This is all covered with the skin
of the bird, just the same as the rest of
the body, but this elevation, which has
already started at the base of
ally grt wing larger day by day, but
the skin does not break, as one would
naturally suppose. but unites and the
scales of the skin become hardened and
help to form the horny coat over the
surface of the elevation, which gradu-
ally pushes onward till it fattens and as
sumes the form of feather. The ele-
walton then loses its groove, the main
one forming the shaft of the feather,
and this branches out irfa the separate
barbs of the vane.
Thus you see that he germ of the
feather is first formed under the skin,
and after it pushes out SO as to show
the barbs of the feather, is then
called the pin-feather, and it
is these pin-feathers, as we all
know. that make such disa-
greeable work in dressing the fowls, as
they are short and hard to pull out OF
the skin, and besides this, the base OF
the feather is full of soft meaty sub
stance, and even if the feathers are all
carefully plucked out it is very hard tc
